Although the women of the United States are confined within the narrow circle of domestic life, and their situation is, in some respects, one of extreme dependence, I have nowhere seen woman occupying a loftier position; and if I were asked... in which I have spoken of so many important things done by Americans, to what the singular prosperity and growing strength of that people ought mainly to be attributed, I should reply, To the superiority of their women.

Update: Welcome News Real Blog readers!
I invite you to look around and check out some of my investigations. There is no following the typical news cycle here!

Using the salmonella egg recall as a pretext, our paternal federal government is attempting to regulate family farms out of existence. Despite the fact that most, if not all, safety issues with food come from big producers. This bill cracks down on roadside stands, and may will open the door to regulating farmer's markets. There is no debate on who our federal government supports in our food production - big business.

So what traitors are behind this bill? Let's start with the co-sponsors (courtesy of Govtrack):
Dick Durbin - Sponsor
Co -Sponsors - a bipartisan bunch: (This info is from when it was introduced nearly a year ago)

This illustrates the battle lines between large agricultural corporations and food processors and local family farms. They've took over health care, complete with death panels, they're destroying small businesses with excessive taxation and regulation - do you think there's an area that they're going to neglect? (They refers to our criminal government who ceased being bothered about the Constitution long ago.) It is a documented fact that the globalists read: international banksters are all about controlling us with food. Mao's Great Leap Forward used the control of food as a weapon to starve tens of millions of Chinese. It's been done before, and if Federal agents drawing guns on Amish farmers who dare to sell their raw milk to willing consumers doesn't scare the holy moly out of you, you're not paying attention. Note the following stories:

I'm sure there are many other examples of organic and raw food producers out there who have been intimidated, fined, or regulated out of business. I don't want to get into a big discussion about whether raw milk/honey is good or bad. These people are not trying to trick anyone into drinking raw milk. I know raw milk can be a problem for some because cows and goats have bacteria in their digestive tract that helps keep them healthy. These same bacteria can make the uninitiated get a stomach-virus type illness. However, some feel that the bacteria in raw milk is healthful and that the high temperatures of pasteurization denaturate the proteins in the milk. In any case, there is a free-market demand for raw products, thus there is a market to meet that demand. The federal government is actively trying to destroy this market through this bill. Under this bill, the FDA will have full oversight of people making homemade jelly to sell at their local fair. The FDA will have all sorts of fun paperwork in store for those who aren't part of the approved food supply chain as shown here:

Notice the obligatory Council on Foreign Relations node in the center, sitting there like a spider. Thrown in for good measure is the Trilateral Commission, which is an even more elite global group. Think I'm being paranoid? I wish I was, but check out these statements from halls of history when it comes to government and food:

The dreadful famine that engulfed Ukraine, the northern Caucasus, and the lower Volga River area in 1932-1933 was the result of Joseph Stalin's policy of forced collectivization. The heaviest losses occurred in Ukraine, which had been the most productive agricultural area of the Soviet Union. Stalin was determined to crush all vestiges of Ukrainian nationalism. Thus, the famine was accompanied by a devastating purge of the Ukrainian intelligentsia and the Ukrainian Communist party itself. The famine broke the peasants' will to resist collectivization and left Ukraine politically, socially, and psychologically traumatized.

Thanks to the often meticulous reports compiled by the party itself, we can infer that between 1958 to 1962, by a rough approximation 6 to 8 per cent of those who died prematurely were tortured to death or summarily executed - amounting to at least 2.5 million people. Many other victims were deliberately deprived of food and starved to death. Even more vanished because they were too old, weak or sick to work - and hence unable to earn their keep. People were killed selectively because they were rich, because they dragged their feet, because they spoke out or simply because they were not liked, for whatever reason, by the man who wielded the ladle in the canteen. Countless people were killed indirectly through neglect, as local cadres were under pressure to focus on figures rather than on people, making sure they fulfilled the targets they were handed by the top planners.

A vision of promised abundance not only motivated one of the most deadly mass killings of human history, but also inflicted unprecedented damage on agriculture, trade, industry and transportation. Livestock declined precipitously, not only because animals were slaughtered for the export market but also because they succumbed en masse to disease and hunger - despite extravagant schemes for giant piggeries that would bring meat to every table. As everyone cut corners in the relentless pursuit of higher output, factories spewed out shoddy goods that accumulated uncollected by railway sidings. The transportation system creaked to a halt before collapsing altogether, unable to cope with the demands created by a command economy. It would have been difficult to design a more wasteful system, one in which grain rotted uncollected by dusty roads in the countryside as people foraged for food or ate mud.

Over 84 million people died during the reign of Mao, a large percentage died between the years of 1958 and 1962, most of them by starvation. Yet Obama and his ilk put this guys face on their "holiday" ornaments.

Shortly after World War II, a U.S. congressional committee investigated the Nazi Holocaust and found that starvation was the main instrument of torture in the concentration camps.
The Committee notes the prisoners' daily diet "consisted generally of about one-half of a pound of black bread per day and a bowl of watery soup for noon and night, and not always that."
The report continued: "Notwithstanding the deliberate starvation program inflicted upon these prisoners by lack of adequate food, we found no evidence that the people of Germany as a whole were suffering from any lack of sufficient food or clothing. The contrast was so striking that the only conclusion which we could reach was that the starvation of the inmates of these camps was deliberate."

Don't worry, I'm sure all of these starving people experienced a sense of "euphoria" and "slipped into a peaceful coma." That's why some of them were resorting to cannibalism, they just couldn't contain their euphoria. Rest in Peace, Terri Shiavo, the government's first test case of starving an invalid.

From the Economic Collapse, the top 12 reason why this bill is a tyrannical takeover of our food supply:

#1 All food production facilities in the United States will be required to register with the U.S. government. No food will be allowed to be grown, distributed or sold outside this bureaucratic framework unless the FDA allows it.

#2 Any food that is distributed or sold outside of U.S. government control will be considered illegal smuggling.

#3 The FDA will hire an army of new inspectors to enforce all of the new provisions in the bill.

#4 The FDA will be mandated to conduct much more frequent inspections of food processing facilities.

#5 The fees and paperwork requirements will be ruinously expensive for small food producers and organic farms.

#6 S. 510 would place all U.S. food and all U.S. farms under the Department of Homeland Security in the event of a major "contamination" or an "emergency". What exactly would constitute a "contamination" or an "emergency" is anyone's guess.

#7 S. 510 mandates that the FDA facilitate harmonization of American food laws with Codex Alimentarius. (outlaws over the counter vitamins and supplements - I posted on how the Carlyle Group recently bought up the company that makes cheap vitamins for WalMart and Target.)

#8 S. 510 imposes an annual registration fee on any facility that holds, processes, or manufactures food. It also includes draconian fines for paperwork infractions of up to $500,000 for a single offense. Just one penalty like that would drive a small food producer out of business.

#9 S. 510 would give the FDA tremendous discretion to regulate how crops are grown and how food is produced in the United States. Basically, small farmers and organic farmers will now be forced to farm exactly how the federal government tells them to. It is feared that the U.S. government would soon declare that many organic farming methods are "unsafe" and would outlaw them. In addition, there is the very real possibility that at some point the U.S. government could decide that the only "safe" seed for a particular crop is genetically modified seed and would require all farmers to use it.

#10 S. 510 will give the FDA the power to impose a quarantine on a specific geographic area. Basically the FDA would have the power to stop the movement of all food in an area where a "contamination" has been identified. This would be very close to being able to declare martial law.

#11 S. 510 will give the FDA the power to conduct warrantless searches of the business records of small food producers and organic farmers, even if there has been no evidence at all that a law has been broken.

#12 Opponents of S. 510 believe that it would eliminate the right to clean and store seed. Therefore, control of the U.S. seed supply would be further centralized in the hands of Monsanto and other multinational corporations.

So if you've ever wondered how millions of people could be taken over by just a relative handful of people, here is your answer. Whoever controls your food, can control you. Call your senators and tell them to oppose S. 510 for what it's worth.

• The Supreme Court has ruled that Corporations have Free Speech rights equivalent to people; (So much for original intent!)

None of these are Democrat/Republican conflicts, but rather, are corporate vs. individual issues.

For those of you who are stuck in the old Left/Right debate, you are missing the bigger picture. Consider this about the Bailouts: It was a right-winger who bailed out all of the big banks, Fannie Mae, and AIG in the first place; then his left winger successor continued to pour more money into the fire pit.

What difference did the Left/Right dynamic make? Almost none whatsoever.

He sums up his point by stating:

But my bottom line is this: If you see the world in terms of Left & Right, you really aren’t seeing the world at all . . .

Yes, this is old news, but seeing how our country is facing a huge budget problem, it seems like $2.3 Trillion dollars would come in handy. Remember what Dwight Eisenhower said about the Military Industrial Complex- it has to be watched closely. Well, it has not been watched at all - kinda hard to do when they can hide behind the label "classified". The Democrats hate the military I've always heard, but I've never heard how the the Republicans hate waste in the military. I guess they don't, my suspicion is that's where some of them have their honey pots.

So on September 10, 2001, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld breaks the news that 2.3 Trillion defense dollars cannot be accounted for. Oopsie. Here's a copy of an independent audit looking at 1.1 Trillion of it.

Replace the term soviet in the following excerpt from ex-KGB propaganda specialist, Yuri Bezmenov, and replace it with the term collectivist or globalist. Some may want to put Muslim in there, but I would contend that they are pawns in this game and not the main players.

It may take only 2 to 6 months, to bring America to the same situation which now exists South of the border in Central America. At this third stage of subversion you will have all your American 'radicals' and Soviet 'sleeper' agents springing into action, trying to 'seize power as quickly and ruthlessly as possible’ (see the 'Rules of Revolution' in the beginning of this booklet). If all the previous stages of Soviet subversion have been successfully completed by that time, the majority of Americans will be so totally confused that they may even WELCOME some ‘strong' leaders who 'know how to talk to the Russians.’ Chances are these leaders will be elected and given almost unlimited 'emergency powers.’ A forceful change of the U.S. system may or may not be accomplished through a civil war or internal revolution, and a physical MILITARY invasion by the USSR may not even have to take place at all. But change it will be, and rather a drastic one, with all the familiar attributes of Soviet 'progress' being instituted such as NATIONALIZATION of vital industries, the reduction of the 'private sector' of the economy to the bare minimum, the redistribution of wealth and a massive propaganda campaign by the newly 'elected' government to 'explain' and justify the reforms.

Now let me ask you what kind of things popped in your head when you read that? Let me guess:

sleeper cells - Organizing for America, ACORN, nationalization of vital industries - Government Motors, regulation of oil industries, internet kill switches, an increasingly militarized USDA harassing small farmers, etc.reduction of private sector - we all know how that's going down, we also know that the public sector has been enlarged and they make more money than the rest of us and don't pay their taxes to boot!redistribution of wealth with propaganda - we've seen the Democrats epically fail with their propaganda recently. Obamacare, Cash for Clunkers, tax hikes to eliminate the middle class so to create a have/have not society.

No one can deny that 9/11 was a huge crisis, and at this point you can't deny that it was used to usurp a huge amount of power. We now have a Department of Homeland Security that is photographing the privates of private citizens as they get on airplanes. We also a have the suspension of habeas corpus, Posse Comitatus, and an expectation of privacy. All they need is to use the T-word and you can theoretically be whisked away to have who knows what done to you. Republicans didn't worry about this when their people were in, but now that we have the DoJ, DHS, and other agencies calling people who self-identify as "Constitutionalists" as potential terrorists, it becomes obvious that the crisis of 9/11 has led us to a crisis of clear and present tyranny.

So what happens when we resist? What happens when we follow Tim Geitner's lead and stop paying our taxes - is it concentration camp time? Let's ask Yuri:

No-- no concentration camps and executions. Not yet. That will come later at the stage of...

... to be continued!

All Yuri Bezmenov quotes are from his booklet, Love Letter to America, via Useless Dissident.

At Bread Upon the Waters, hard questions are being raised on why there is no justice for USS Cole victims.

Common Cents features some compare/contrast pics of our dear leader, Obama and macho man, Comrade Putin. Seems like the "establishment" who writes Obama's script should have made him buff up a little before he took office.

The CL has the latest incident from Police State USA - police brutality takes on a whole new meaning. I wonder if a cop says "Simon says" and you don't do whatever - will you be guilty of resisting arrest? Seems like that's the train of thought for some of these psychos.

Thus ends my modest linkage - since it's Sunday, thought I'd bring you this message via The Sacred Sandwich from the "Prince of Preachers", Charles Spurgeon. (BTW, he forecast the downgrade of Christianity in the 1870s):

I have seen boys bathing in a river in the morning. One of them has just dipped his toes in the water, and he cries out, as he shivers, “Oh, it’s so cold!” Another has gone in up to his ankles, and he also declares that it is fearfully chilly.

But see! another runs to the bank, and takes a header. He rises all in a glow. All his blood is circulating, and he cries “Delicious! What a beautiful morning! I am all in a glow. The water is splendid!” That is the boy for enjoying a bath!

You Christian people who are paddling about in the shallows of religion, and just dipping your toes into it—you stand shivering in the cold air of the world which you are afraid to leave. Oh, that you would plunge into the river of life! How it would brace you! What tone it would give you! In for it, young man! In for it!
Be a Christian, out and out. Serve the Lord with your whole being. Give yourself wholly to him who bought you with his blood. Plunge into the sacred flood by grace, and you will exclaim—

“Oh, this is life! Oh, this is joy,
My God, to find thee so!
Thy face to see, thy voice to hear,
And all thy love to know.”

We hear a lot of talk about the "Establishment", that nebulous bunch of East Coast snobs who are "experts" on any subject under the sun. But just who are they and what is their ultimate objective? We know that they exist in both parties. The Tea Party movement is a reaction to the Republicans refusal to be, well, Republicans. Even those of an independent bent have asked themselves what happened to the two party system - shouldn't some party have been out there objecting to the "Too big to fail rhetoric?"

To help you get your mind around the Establishment and who they are and how they operate, I must first mention the Council on Foreign Relations. Some of you might roll your eyes and say, oh boy, here we go - am I hearing the X-files theme song in the background?

Well, the truth IS out there if we will trouble ourselves by looking up the facts for ourselves. Let's just start with demonstrable facts. The Knights Templar will not make an appearance on this post, nor will any mention of the Illuminati.

The Council on Foreign Relations was founded in 1921. It came out of a group of academics and advisers to President Woodrow Wilson called the Inquiry. Two of the most prominent founders were "Colonel" Edward M. House and Walter Lippman. Col. House was often accused of the being the "power behind the throne" in the Wilson presidency, always present and advising. He also wrote a novel, Phillip Dru: Administrator, which you will find, partially, on my roll under X files. The gist of the book is that our country didn't start out right, but with the right central planning, our society will be a nice, neat, well-oiled machine. Walter Lippman, the man who coined the phrase "cold war", was also a close adviser to Wilson. He was not a communist, but he was definitely a collectivist.

That the manufacture of consent is capable of great refinements no one, I think, denies. The process by which public opinions arise is certainly no less intricate than it has appeared in these pages, and the opportunities for manipulation open to anyone who understands the process are plain enough. . . . [a]s a result of psychological research, coupled with the modern means of communication, the practice of democracy has turned a corner. A revolution is taking place, infinitely more significant than any shifting of economic power. . . . Under the impact of propaganda, not necessarily in the sinister meaning of the word alone, the old constants of our thinking have become variables. It is no longer possible, for example, to believe in the original dogma of democracy; that the knowledge needed for the management of human affairs comes up spontaneously from the human heart. Where we act on that theory we expose ourselves to self-deception, and to forms of persuasion that we cannot verify. It has been demonstrated that we cannot rely upon intuition, conscience, or the accidents of casual opinion if we are to deal with the world beyond our reach.

– Walter Lippmann, Public Opinion, 1922

Harold Pratt House- CFR HQ

Make of that what you will. He wrote this book at the same time he was helping set up the Council on Foreign Relations at the Harold Pratt House in NYC, where the Council still operates. This gives us insight into how they see all of us, as idiots who cannot process information without their propaganda.

No one can deny that WWII was the greatest crisis of the last 100 years, as you cannot deny that these collectivists types use crisis to usurp power. During the WWII years, CFR ramped up its operation and has ensconced itself as a power broker for US foreign policy ever since. The Rockefeller Foundation funded the Council's War and Peace Studies at the outset of WWII, which was divided into four key areas:
Economic and Financial, Political, Territorial, and Armaments, which was headed up by Allen Dulles, who was director of the OSS, the CIA - might explain why so many CIA directors are CFR too- they got in on the ground level of this new secret organization.

The US State Department circulated over 650 memos written up by the CFR's War and Peace Studies group, which illustrates how CFR and the State Department were and are intertwined. For instance, here is a visual representation of the intermingling of the US State Department with CFR:

William Bundy has credited CFR for laying the framework for the Marshal Plan and NATO. In his essay, "Sources of Soviet Conduct", CFR member George Kennan coined the word, "containment". I'm throwing this information out just to show you that this group has had a vast influence on our foreign policy.

Dwight D. Eisenhower was steeped in CFR goodness. As President of Columbia University (which must have been a sympathy job, as he wasn't really qualified.), he belonged to a CFR study group and CFR is where is campaign for president started. His cabinet was chock full of CFRers, including Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, brother to Allen. It was Secretary Dulles who proclaimed:

"There is no local defense which alone will contain the mighty land power of the communist world. Local defenses must be reinforced by the further deterrent of massive retaliatory power."

Enter the military-industrial complex, which CFR members are highly invested in - as in they sit on the boards of defense companies as shown:

President Eisenhower may have seen what was going on around him and said the following in his farewell speech. Keep in mind that our police are becoming more militarized and these forces are becoming more persuasive through Homeland Security, and a host of enforcement agencies.

Are you alert now, citizen?

In 1954 the Reece Committee was enacted to investigate these nonprofits which were welding such huge control of our government and society. Here is Rene Wormer author ofFoundations: Their Power and Influence:

"The far-reaching power of the large [Tax Exempt] foundations and of the interlock, has so influenced the press, the radio, and even the government that it has become extremely difficult for objective criticism of foundation practices to get into news channels without having first been distorted, slanted, discredited and at times ridiculed ... Foundation activity has nowhere had a greater impact than in the field of foreign affairs. It has conquered public opinion and has largely established the international-political goals of our country ... It would be difficult to find a single foundation-supported organization of any substance which has not favored the U.N. or similar global schemes; fantastically heavy foreign aid at the burdensome expense of the taxpayer; meddling in the colonial affairs of other nations; and American military commitments over the globe. This was comparatively easy to accomplish because there was no organized or foundation-supported opposition. The influence of the foundation complex in internationalism has reached far into government, policy-making circles of Congress, and State Department ...The Council on Foreign Relations, another member of the international complex, financed both by the Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations, overwhelmingly propagandizes the globalist concept. This organization became virtually an agency of the government when WWII broke out. The Rockefeller Foundation had started and financed certain studies known as the War and Peace Studies, manned largely by associates of the Council [CFR]; the State Department, in due course, took these studies over, retaining the major personnel which the CFR had supplied."

The CFR was studying a little country called Vietnam way back in 1953, just as soon as we were getting finished with Korea. From a New American article on CFR, a summary of this organization's design of the Vietnam War:

The tragic Vietnam War was run almost entirely by CFR members. William P. Bundy (CFR) drafted the Tonkin Gulf Resolution before the now-discredited Tonkin Gulf Incident even took place. Bundy’s father-in-law, Dean Acheson (CFR), as leader of a senior team of advisers nicknamed “the Wise Men,” persuaded Lyndon Baines Johnson to dramatically escalate the war beginning in 1965. And Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara (CFR) helped develop the “rules of engagement” (e.g., preventing the Air Force from attacking critical targets) that guaranteed the war’s disastrous prolongation. This generated a huge slide to the left among American college students. When Bundy left the State Department, David Rockefeller appointed him editor of the CFR’s journal Foreign Affairs. And McNamara, one of the leading architects of the Vietnam War debacle, became president of the World Bank.

Henry Kissinger is recruited into CFR at about this time, and was soon to become the CFR shining star. In 1957, he came out with his book, Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy, which he worked on at CFR headquarters in New York. I've already discussed Henry Kissinger in this post.

Beginning in 1962, key officers in the Air Force were asked to join the Council. In the next few years, high-level officers from the other branches of the service were also invited to "share in the resources of the Council" (Read: be indoctrinated in globalization) Here's the diagram:

Admiral Chester Ward was recruited by CFR as an up and coming military leader that would be useful to their purposes. Once inside their organization, he quickly found that it was not some innocuous nonpartisan think tank, but had a sinister outlook on America's founding principles. He co-wrote a book with Phyllis Schlafly entitled Kissinger on the Couch, from which the following excerpts come:

“Once the ruling members of the CFR have decided that the U.S. Government should adopt a particular policy, the very substantial research facilities of CFR are put to work to develop arguments, intellectual and emotional, to support the new policy, and to confound and discredit, intellectually and politically, any opposition.” (Admiral Chester Ward, Kissinger on the Couch, p. 151. 1975.)

[the CFR has as a goal] submergence of U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all-powerful one-world government.… this lust to surrender the sovereignty and independence of the United States is pervasive throughout most of the membership.… In the entire CFR lexicon, there is no term of revulsion carrying a meaning so deep as ‘America First’” (Admiral Chester Ward, Kissinger on the Couch, pp. 144-150. 1975.)

Emphasis added by myself.

According to John Christian Ryter, the writers of the the notorious disarmament paper, State Department Publication 7277, "Freedom from War" was authored than none other than: CFR members Dean Rusk, Kennedy's Secretary of State Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, and presidential advisers John J. McCloy and Robert Lovett. Read more about this gun control paper at my post here.

How did President John F. Kennedy fit into all this? Well, we know that his daddy Joe ran with the "in crowd" back when the Federal Reserve got going. There is even an anecdote in the Money Masters video, available on the roll, where Joe came to a fellow church member and told him to sell all his stocks that summer (1929) and not to ask any questions. The "in crowd" naturally thought John would follow the party line. (Party here refers to the globalist, godless elite party, not a political party.) With Executive Order 11110, President Kennedy began the process of restoring to us Constitutional money. The US Constitution under Article 1 Section 8 gives the United States "the power to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures." His executive order was to issue silver certificates that were backed by real silver in the US Treasury. Being backed by something with intrinsic value, these certificates would become more in demand than Federal Reserve Notes. As you may have heard, the Federal Reserve is not a government agency, but a private bank that apparently cannot be audited. You can imagine what it thinks about having any competition - it might just fly into a violent rage. I think that President Kennedy, like President Eisenhower, noticed the intrigue and unpatriotic goals of the Establishment, which depended heavily on control of our money supply. Well, we all know how that ended for him.

LBJ expanded our government's control to unprecedented level. Here is Robert Kennedy's impression of LBJ:

Think about how much America changed in the 1960s, this was not just the "way it goes" - it was a coordinated effort to deconstruct and weaken the United States. I can't believe I'm linking to this, but apparently Fidel Castro is also looking into these issues and here is an excerpt from an article about Castro's interest in Bilderberg, which is another elite club that overlaps CFR quite a bit. The CIA did try to kill him with an exploding cigar, so I suppose he has some first-hand experience with these people:

The excerpt published by Castro suggested that the esoteric Frankfurt School of socialist academics worked with members of the Rockefeller family in the 1950s to pave the way for rock music to "control the masses" by diverting attention from civil rights and social injustice.
"The man charged with ensuring that the Americans liked the Beatles was Walter Lippmann himself," the excerpt asserted, referring to a political philosopher and by-then-staid newspaper columnist who died in 1974.

We know that the Ford Foundation gave the seed money for womens studies programs at universities across the country. The free market does not give us this nonsense, but the robber baron's money sitting tax free in some foundation for 100 years sure does. The breakdown of the family and reducing the population is an obsession of the elite. Dependence on your family means you won't be controlled dependent on the the Establishment. They spend fortunes on mass psychology and population control research. Why do you think John D Rockefeller Jr. invested so much money in Columbia Teacher's college, not to mention other teachers colleges? So he could train teachers in the new "scientific" way as to create a homogeneous, predictable population incapable of knowing how to resist or even knowing what should be resisted. Many people look at the Germans' inaction during the Holocaust, but don't take into consideration that their country was ground zero for totalitarian education control, which had been in progress for more than 150 years at the onset of WW2.

Ian Fleming being an ex-agent, makes you wonder how much S.P.E.C.T.R.E mirrored real life.

Concerning Watergate, isn't interesting that Nelson Rockefeller was our only unelected Vice President? President Ford was the embodiment of a Rockfeller Republican, by the way. That's what we used to call RINOs, yunguns.

Let's get back on track, to coordinate international policy, David Rockefeller comes up with the Trilateral Commission. Again, I'll refer to the New American article on CFR:

Jimmy Carter was a member of the commission, hand-picked to be president after meeting with Brzezinski and Rockefeller at the latter’s Tarrytown, New York, estate. Carter filled his administration with CFR members and Trilateralists. Indeed, Brzezinski noted in his memoirs that “all the key foreign policy decision makers of the Carter Administration had previously served in the Trilateral Commission.” Carter then embarked on a destructive course of foreign policy that included betraying the Shah of Iran, leading to the installment of Ayatollah Khomeini and the U.S. hostage crisis; betraying President Anastasio Somoza of Nicaragua, resulting in a Marxist dictatorship under the Sandinistas; and betraying Taiwan in order to recognize Communist China — a move previously set up by Richard Nixon’s overtures to China, dictated by his own CFR advisers.

I don't have a lot of sympathy for people who say we need to go into Iran. Prior to CFR and CIA involvement, Iran was a moderate western-like country as seen in these photos. And prior to those 1970s era photos, Iran did have a democratically elected government, which unfortunately did not hand over its oil. Seems like CFR people have sided with the bad guys consistently. I probably could start a whole other blog on how the globalists via the CIA have funded radical Islamists and dictators around the globe. Think about it, these backward people did not have any money until oil was discovered by the big money. They saw their Muslim religion could be used to their advantage, at first to combat communism (which they also funded), and now to create an ongoing sense of tension. The War on Terror is increasingly looking like a farce to me - a point I will expand upon later in a later post with a lot of hard facts. The scary thing is that CFR people hold the highest positions in every level of our government and they hold us that live out here in flyover country in complete derision.

What about Reagan? I hear a lot of people saying how awesome Reagan was, and his speeches do indeed embody the American ideal, but did he actually reduce the government in any meaningful way? Or a better question to ask, was this actually within his power? Did he buck them at the beginning of his presidency, and that's why he got shot? Makes you wonder. Like Larry McDonald said, he'd give Reagan an A on his speeches, but a C- in reducing government. President Reagan added over 100,000 bureaucrats to the federal government. He had over 200 CFR members in his administration. We still have a Department of Education for Pete's sakes, what happened with getting rid of that? Instead my own Senator Lamar worked there formulating soviet-style school standards -what at conservative!

Under the Clinton administration, things kicked into high gear as NAFTA was ratified. This was the beginning of the end of the American economy. You have to produce things of value for your economy to be solvent. A service "butt-wiping" economy isn't sustainable. You think the CFR eggheads who put this together don't know that? Remember what Rowan Gaither of the Ford Foundation told Norman Dodd in the Reece investigation of 1954,

..that most of the men who are now running the foundations, formerly worked for the State Department, the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Association, the Marshall Plan or other foreign relief agencies, and that in those capacities, they were working under instructions from the White House to bring about such sociological, economic, and political changes, as would make union with communist Russia easy and comfortable for the American people. Now, in the foundations, we are working toward the same objectives."
He said that the Ford Foundation operated under directives which "emanate from the White House," and that the "substance of the directives under which we operate is that we shall use our grant-making power so to alter life in the United States that we can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union."

Ship all of our industry overseas so that we are dependent on the "global community" for a a fair amount of our necessities. Dependence breeds subservience, you know and that is what this is all about. Now we have unemployment, because who is going to build a factory in a country with crushing environmental regulations when they can go to China where there's no rules and very cheap labor. Who do you think drafted our draconian labor and environmental laws? They all emanated from this elite group of people who have their eyes set on world domination.

If I wrote about the interconnectedness of the Bush family with CFR, this post would become too long. I will instead leave you with this clip of Dick Cheney, a former director of CFR, joking about how he never told the people of Wyoming he was involved with the Council.

I encourage everyone out there to research this information for themselves. Check for interlinks between the CIA, NSA and CFR. After you read Gen. Smedley Butler's War is a Racket (available on my roll), it all becomes so obvious. It makes you look at the 1953 coup of Iran, the Bay of Pigs, Iran-Contra, etc. in a whole other light. I also encourage everyone to go to the Council of Foreign Relations' magazine, Foreign Affairs, and read it for yourself. This is not a conspiracy - they put out a magazine telling us what they think and what they hope to do! They just bet on the fact that we're all too lazy to read it. Men like Carroll Quigley, David Rockefeller, and Zbigniew Brzezinski write huge books outlining everything I've put out in this post. They think they can get away with it because they're banking on your indifference and ignorance. With the internet, their hold on information is slipping. Why do you think CFR member Joe Lieberman was calling for an internet kill switch? Use this time we have of internet freedom to get to the bottom of how things really work in our country.

A long list, but instructive - these people are not kooky conspiracy theorists, but front-row participants and spectators in the move toward world government:

"To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism, and religious dogmas." - Brock Adams, Director UN Health Organization

"We are not going to achieve a New World Order without paying for it in blood as well as in words and money." - Arthur Schlesinger Jr., 'The CFR Journal Foreign Affairs', August 1975.

"Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 LA Riot]. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond [i.e., an "extraterrestrial" invasion], whether real or *promulgated* [emphasis mine], that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this *scenario*, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government."

Dr. Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France, 1991

"The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining supercapitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control.... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent."

Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976, killed in the Korean Airlines 747 that was shot down by the Soviets

"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."

David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.

This explains a lot, doesn't it?

"In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press....They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers.

"An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers."

U.S. Congressman Oscar Callaway, 1917

"The world can therefore seize the opportunity [Persian Gulf crisis] to fulfill the long-held promise of a New World Order where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind."

George Herbert Walker Bush

"In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all."

Strobe Talbot, President Clinton's Deputy Secretary of State, as quoted in Time, July 20th, l992.

"We shall have world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent."

Statement by Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member James Warburg to The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17th, l950

"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."

Woodrow Wilson,The New Freedom (1913)

"What is important is to dwell upon the increasing evidence of the existence of a secret conspiracy, throughout the world, for the destruction of organized government and the letting loose of evil."

Christian Science Monitor editorial, June 19th, l920

"The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen....At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties."

New York City Mayor John F. Hylan, 1922 describing a real-life S.P.E.C.T.R.E.

"From the days of Sparticus, Wieskhopf, Karl Marx, Trotsky, Rosa Luxemberg, and Emma Goldman, this world conspiracy has been steadily growing. This conspiracy played a definite recognizable role in the tragedy of the French revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the 19th century. And now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their head and have become the undisputed masters of that enormous empire."

Winston Churchill, stated to the London Press, in l922.

"We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world."

Professor Arnold Toynbee, in a June l931 speech before the Institute for the Study of International Affairs in Copenhagen.

"The government of the Western nations, whether monarchical or republican, had passed into the invisible hands of a plutocracy, international in power and grasp. It was, I venture to suggest, this semioccult power which....pushed the mass of the American people into the cauldron of World War I."

British military historian MajorGeneral J.F.C. Fuller, l941

"For a long time I felt that FDR had developed many thoughts and ideas that were his own to benefit this country, the United States. But, he didn't. Most of his thoughts, his political ammunition, as it were, were carefully manufactured for him in advanced by the Council on Foreign Relations-One World Money group. Brilliantly, with great gusto, like a fine piece of artillery, he exploded that prepared "ammunition" in the middle of an unsuspecting target, the American people, and thus paid off and returned his internationalist political support.

"The UN is but a long-range, international banking apparatus clearly set up for financial and economic profit by a small group of powerful One-World revolutionaries, hungry for profit and power. **** "The depression was the calculated 'shearing' of the public by the World Money powers, triggered by the planned sudden shortage of supply of call money in the New York money market....The One World Government leaders and their ever close bankers have now acquired full control of the money and credit machinery of the U.S. via the creation of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank."

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson."

A letter written by FDR to Colonel House, November 21st, l933

"The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes."

Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, 1952

"Fifty men have run America, and that's a high figure."

Joseph Kennedy, father of JFK, in the July 26th, l936 issue of The New York Times.

"Today the path of total dictatorship in the United States can be laid by strictly legal means, unseen and unheard by the Congress, the President, or the people. Outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system, another body representing another form of government - a bureaucratic elite."

Senator William Jenner, 1954

"The case for government by elites is irrefutable"

Senator William Fulbright, Former chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, stated at a 1963 symposium entitled: The Elite and the Electorate - Is Government by the People Possible?

"The Trilateral Commission is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power political, monetary, intellectual and ecclesiastical. What the Trilateral Commission intends is to create a worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of the nationstates involved. As managers and creators of the system ,they will rule the future."

U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater in his l964 book: With No Apologies.

The Shadows from Babyon 5

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements, arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds' central banks which were themselves private corporations. The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and the indirect injury of all other economic groups."

Tragedy and Hope: A History of The World in Our Time (Macmillan Company, 1966,) Professor Carroll Quigley of Georgetown University, highly esteemed by his former student, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton.

"The Council on Foreign Relations is "the establishment." Not only does it have influence and power in key decision-making positions at the highest levels of government to apply pressure from above, but it also announces and uses individuals and groups to bring pressure from below, to justify the high level decisions for converting the U.S. from a sovereign Constitutional Republic into a servile member state of a one-world dictatorship."

Former Congressman John Rarick 1971

"The directors of the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) make up a sort of Presidium for that part of the Establishment that guides our destiny as a nation."

The Christian Science Monitor, September 1, l961

"The New World Order will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down...but in the end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault."

CFR member Richard Gardner, writing in the April l974 issue of the CFR's journal, Foreign Affairs.

"The planning of UN can be traced to the 'secret steering committee' established by Secretary [of State Cordell] Hull in January 1943. All of the members of this secret committee, with the exception of Hull, a Tennessee politician, were members of the Council on Foreign Relations. They saw Hull regularly to plan, select, and guide the labors of the [State] Department's Advisory Committee. It was, in effect, the coordinating agency for all the State Department's postwar planning."

Professors Laurence H. Shoup and William Minter, writing in their study of the CFR, "Imperial Brain Trust: The CFR and United States Foreign Policy." (Monthly Review Press, 1977).

"The most powerful clique in these (CFR) groups have one objective in common: they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and the national independence of the U.S. They want to end national boundaries and racial and ethnic loyalties supposedly to increase business and ensure world peace. What they strive for would inevitably lead to dictatorship and loss of freedoms by the people. The CFR was founded for "the purpose of promoting disarmament and submergence of U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all-powerful one-world government."

Harpers, July l958

"The old world order changed when this war-storm broke. The old international order passed away as suddenly, as unexpectedly, and as completely as if it had been wiped out by a gigantic flood, by a great tempest, or by a volcanic eruption. The old world order died with the setting of that day's sun and a new world order is being born while I speak, with birth-pangs so terrible that it seems almost incredible that life could come out of such fearful suffering and such overwhelming sorrow."

Nicholas Murray Butler, in an address delivered before the Union League of Philadelphia, Nov. 27, 1915

"If there are those who think we are to jump immediately into a new world order, actuated by complete understanding and brotherly love, they are doomed to disappointment. If we are ever to approach that time, it will be after patient and persistent effort of long duration. The present international situation of mistrust and fear can only be corrected by a formula of equal status, continuously applied, to every phase of international contacts, until the cobwebs of the old order are brushed out of the minds of the people of all lands."

Dr. Augustus O. Thomas, president of the World Federation of Education Associations (August 1927), quoted in the book International Understanding: Agencies Educating for a New World (1931)

"... when the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still be very great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people ... will hate the new world order ... and will die protesting against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-looking people."

H. G. Wells, in his book entitled The New World Order (1939)

CFR decoder rings

"The term Internationalism has been popularized in recent years to cover an interlocking financial, political, and economic world force for the purpose of establishing a World Government. Today Internationalism is heralded from pulpit and platform as a 'League of Nations' or a 'Federated Union' to which the United States must surrender a definite part of its National Sovereignty. The World Government plan is being advocated under such alluring names as the 'New International Order,' 'The New World Order,' 'World Union Now,' 'World Commonwealth of Nations,' 'World Community,' etc. All the terms have the same objective; however, the line of approach may be religious or political according to the taste or training of the individual."

Excerpt from A Memorial to be Addressed to the House of Bishops and the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies of the Protestant Episcopal Church in General Convention (October 1940)

"In the first public declaration on the Jewish question since the outbreak of the war, Arthur Greenwood, member without portfolio in the British War Cabinet, assured the Jews of the United States that when victory was achieved an effort would be made to found a new world order based on the ideals of 'justice and peace.'"

Excerpt from article entitled "New World Order Pledged to Jews," in The New York Times (October 1940)

"If totalitarianism wins this conflict, the world will be ruled by tyrants, and individuals will be slaves. If democracy wins, the nations of the earth will be united in a commonwealth of free peoples, and individuals, wherever found, will be the sovereign units of the new world order."

The Declaration of the Federation of the World, produced by the Congress on World Federation, adopted by the Legislatures of North Carolina (1941), New Jersey (1942), Pennsylvania (1943), and possibly other states.

"New World Order Needed for Peace: State Sovereignty Must Go, Declares Notre Dame Professor"

Title of article in The Tablet (Brooklyn) (March 1942)

"Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles tonight called for the early creation of an international organization of anti-Axis nations to control the world during the period between the armistice at the end of the present war and the setting up of a new world order on a permanent basis."

Text of article in The Philadelphia Inquirer (June 1942)

"There are some plain common-sense considerations applicable to all these attempts at world planning. They can be briefly stated: 1. To talk of blueprints for the future or building a world order is, if properly understood, suggestive, but it is also dangerous. Societies grow far more truly than they are built. A constitution for a new world order is never like a blueprint for a skyscraper."

Norman Thomas, in his book What Is Our Destiny? (1944)

"He [John Foster Dulles] stated directly to me that he had every reason to believe that the Governor [Thomas E. Dewey of New York] accepts his point of view and that he is personally convinced that this is the policy that he would promote with great vigor if elected. So it is fair to say that on the first round the Sphinx of Albany has established himself as a prima facie champion of a strong and definite new world order."

Excerpt from article by Ralph W. Page in The Philadelphia Bulletin (May 1944)

"The United Nations, he told an audience at Harvard University, 'has not been able--nor can it be able--to shape a new world order which events so compellingly demand.' ... The new world order that will answer economic, military, and political problems, he said, 'urgently requires, I believe, that the United States take the leadership among all free peoples to make the underlying concepts and aspirations of national sovereignty truly meaningful through the federal approach.'"

Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York, in an article entitled "Rockefeller Bids Free Lands Unite: Calls at Harvard for Drive to Build New World Order" -- The New York Times (February 1962)

"The developing coherence of Asian regional thinking is reflected in a disposition to consider problems and loyalties in regional terms, and to evolve regional approaches to development needs and to the evolution of a new world order."

Richard Nixon, in Foreign Affairs (October 1967)

"He [President Nixon] spoke of the talks as a beginning, saying nothing more about the prospects for future contacts and merely reiterating the belief he brought to China that both nations share an interest in peace and building 'a new world order.'"

Excerpt from an article in The New York Times (February 1972)

"If instant world government, Charter review, and a greatly strengthened International Court do not provide the answers, what hope for progress is there? The answer will not satisfy those who seek simple solutions to complex problems, but it comes down essentially to this: The hope for the foreseeable lies, not in building up a few ambitious central institutions of universal membership and general jurisdiction as was envisaged at the end of the last war, but rather in the much more decentralized, disorderly and pragmatic process of inventing or adapting institutions of limited jurisdiction and selected membership to deal with specific problems on a case-by-case basis ... In short, the 'house of world order' will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down. It will look like a great 'booming, buzzing confusion,' to use William James' famous description of reality, but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault."

Richard N. Gardner, in Foreign Affairs (April 1974)

"The existing order is breaking down at a very rapid rate, and the main uncertainty is whether mankind can exert a positive role in shaping a new world order or is doomed to await collapse in a passive posture. We believe a new order will be born no later than early in the next century and that the death throes of the old and the birth pangs of the new will be a testing time for the human species."

Richard A. Falk, in an article entitled "Toward a New World Order: Modest Methods and Drastic Visions," in the book On the Creation of a Just World Order (1975)

"My country's history, Mr. President, tells us that it is possible to fashion unity while cherishing diversity, that common action is possible despite the variety of races, interests, and beliefs we see here in this chamber. Progress and peace and justice are attainable. So we say to all peoples and governments: Let us fashion together a new world order."

Henry Kissinger, in address before the General Assembly of the United Nations, October 1975)

"At the old Inter-American Office in the Commerce Building here in Roosevelt's time, as Assistant Secretary of State for Latin American Affairs under President Truman, as chief whip with Adlai Stevenson and Tom Finletter at the founding of the United Nations in San Francisco, Nelson Rockefeller was in the forefront of the struggle to establish not only an American system of political and economic security but a new world order."

Part of article in The New York Times (November 1975)

"A New World Order"

Title of article on commencement address at the University of Pennsylvania by Hubert H. Humphrey, printed in the Pennsylvania Gazette (June 1977)

"Further global progress is now possible only through a quest for universal consensus in the movement towards a new world order."

Mikhail Gorbachev, in an address at the United Nations (December 1988)

"We believe we are creating the beginning of a new world order coming out of the collapse of the U.S.-Soviet antagonisms."

"We can see beyond the present shadows of war in the Middle East to a new world order where the strong work together to deter and stop aggression. This was precisely Franklin Roosevelt's and Winston Churchill's vision for peace for the post-war period."

Richard Gephardt, in The Wall Street Journal (September 1990)

"If we do not follow the dictates of our inner moral compass and stand up for human life, then his lawlessness will threaten the peace and democracy of the emerging new world order we now see, this long dreamed-of vision we've all worked toward for so long."

President George Bush (January 1991)

"But it became clear as time went on that in Mr. Bush's mind the New World Order was founded on a convergence of goals and interests between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, so strong and permanent that they would work as a team through the U.N. Security Council."

Excerpt from A. M. Rosenthal, in The New York Times (January 1991)

"I would support a Presidential candidate who pledged to take the following steps: ... At the end of the war in the Persian Gulf, press for a comprehensive Middle East settlement and for a 'new world order' based not on Pax Americana but on peace through law with a stronger U.N. and World Court."

George McGovern, in The New York Times (February 1991)

"... it's Bush's baby, even if he shares its popularization with Gorbachev. Forget the Hitler 'new order' root; F.D.R. used the phrase earlier."

Title of book excerpt by Henry Kissinger, in Time magazine (March 1994)

"The Final Act of the Uruguay Round, marking the conclusion of the most ambitious trade negotiation of our century, will give birth - in Morocco - to the World Trade Organization, the third pillar of the New World Order, along with the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund."

Part of full-page advertisement by the government of Morocco in The New York Times (April 1994)

"Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high morale and community of purpose. The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history."

“I encouraged the Chinese to support Pol Pot. I encouraged the Thai to help the Khmer Rouge. The question was how to help the Cambodian people. Pol Pot was an abomination. We could never support him. But China could.”--Zbigniew Brzezinski, 1979 as quoted inWhen the war was over: Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge RevolutionbyElizabeth Becker

"The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is eager to enter into close relationship with the Bank for International Settlements.... The conclusion is impossible to escape that the State and Treasury Departments are willing to pool the banking system of Europe and America, setting up a world financial power independent of and above the Government of the United States.... The United States under present conditions will be transformed from the most active of manufacturing nations into a consuming and importing nation with a balance of trade against it."-- Rep Louis McFadden, quoted in the New York Times, June 1930
